12 IRUNGTON WATER BONDSVOTEDSTO Little Opposition to Program Is Shown at Special Election. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star CLARENDON, Va. June 18-yThe “wats” of Arlington County carried the special slectinn vesterday by about the largest majority ever recorded in the ory of the little community on this side of the Patomac. This, . however, does not mean that the peo nle of Arlingtory are laying lines for @ return to prohibition privileges, nor does ft mean that their action will have any effect on the operation of tha Volstead enforcement law. It simply means that they have become tiped of “near” water, want an abund- aht and pure supply, and are willing that the county shall ba bonded to the amount of $750,000 to get it. Returns from the three districts, which were voting on the is rately, under an arrangem: by the failure of any one to approve would mot stop the others from get- ting the water, indicates that the hond plan was equally popular with the voters of the three sections. The total vote for the 10 precincts showed 2,594 for the bonds and 272 \gainst. A few were declared void lecause of being improperly marked. The vote in Arlington district was 6 for and gainst; fn \Wash fngton district, 578 for and 62 against; in JTefferson district, 420 for and against, Vote by Precincts Given. Tha vete by precincts follows: Clarendon, 714 for, 24 against: Arlington, 363 for, 46 against: Rall against; Rosslyn, 218 len Car , 42 for, agzainst: Cherrydale, 337 for, 16 acainst. Carne, 168 for, 21 againat; Voot Falls Church. 73 for, 5 against; el Ray. 139 for, 49 against: Virginia hlands 11 for. 9 agalnst. The entire pelitical machinery of the county. including that of the Re publicans as well as the Democrats. was at work all during the day to get sut the vote, and that it never worked to better advantage is indicated“by the fact that a record vote for special elactlons was polled. A steady vote ' from crowding and contusion s reported all during the day by ihe varlous precinct judges, and the clection as a whole was devoid of xcitement. Instead of a_boisterous ‘elebration that usually follows an wnnouncement of an election decision in.the county. everything was con plenously quiet, men simply stood avound the polling places, their coun- tenances beaming with happiness. and trying valiantly to hide traces of fatigue. brousht about by weeks of campaigning. Aside from William J. Ingram, chairman _of the Arlington County Roard of Water Supply; Asa F. Phil- lips, consulting engineer to the board, and Harry C. Saffell. chairman of the Arlington County Water Supply Com- migsion, which initiated the movement for water, all of whom made the ‘ounds of the polls, one of the hap- plest men in the county in the elec: tion was E. W. Hodges, 83 years of age, of Ballston. He was happy be- cause he was able to vote for water and happier still over the way the election went, but his real happiness had to do with his voting for the first time In his 83 years of life. Woman Mismarks Ballot. An Incident that can now be laugh- #d about, but which might have been of real serious nature, had one vote decided the election, occurred at the Clarendon polls. A woman, after de. positing her ballots, awoke to the fact that she had marked it wrong. eross ipg_off the “for” when she had in tended to vote for the water. She pro tested to the judges and was heart broken when told that the vote would have to stand as marked. The ‘“‘committee for a sound water plant,” which circulated much litera ura attacking the plan of financing fhe water installation, evidently rest ed on its ears, after rplane eir. cularizing stunt of Sunday morning. as far as can be learned. If there was any opposition to the bonds at the polis it did not make itself known, ac- cording to reports from the advy < camp. Virginia Highlands pr ®raid to be the seat of the oppos turned in one of the largest majorit! for the bonds Arlington County, if it consum- mates the water plan—and there is every assurance now that it will— will have the distinction of being the only county In the United States to establish its own water supply. Most of the credit for the big vote that was polled is being given to the “water bond electlon campaign committee,” a hodv composed of members of all political factlons. of the county. This organization set up eubsidiary committees in all of the precincts, resulting in practically avery voter in the county being ap- preached and urged to go to the polls. Precinet chal were: Arlington, Roger Claren- don, William L. Rallston, Mrs, C. M. Rogers William H. Duncan: Glencar eland . Chew; Carne, Wzlter Weaver; Cherrydale, Hugh L. Reid: East Falls Church, Mrs. H. A. Fellows; Rosslyn, | R. Bleakley James, and Highlands, Mrs. Claude <. MUSIC NATIONAL STRING QUARTET. Last night at the Lil y of Con- gress, in the little chamber music audi- torjum, the Natlonal String Quartet presented the first of a series of four Virginia Semones. concerts for Tuesday evenings before an unusual and overflowing audience. It §s not unusual for an audience to | attend these concerts to the point of | atanding-room-only limits, but it is unique to find the type of audience that. attended last night's musical. It was evident that, in addition to the usual group of music lovers of Washington who attend these affairs, there were many others not accus- tomed to chamber music programs and that a large proportion of the audi- enee was composed of young folks who sesmed to be tourists in the city and who filled up the auditorium to beyond its limits long before 8 o'clock for the program scheduled to begin at 2:15, In a way it seemed a bit lamentable, for many true musicians of Washington who came in ample time, according to customary condi- tions, were unable to hear the delight- ful music played, while among those present there were some who inquired as to what a viola was and how to pranounce the name of one of the composers. _Undoubtedly people un- familiar with chamber music should 1aks advantage of attending such con- certs, but there were not a few who left after the first number, indicating that curiosity was a motive behind thelr attendance. However that may be, there were also many there who keenly enjoyed tha music and showed their apprecia- tion by their applause. There was also quite a sizable group of devotees who sat back stage, and, without see- ing the performance, listened atten- tively. The members of the quartet re- flected the general spirit of upset con- the playing of the first of the Haydn ‘“Quartet, o L in G,” in which the |Seven Ports Claim i | To Be Birthplace | 2 | | Of American Navy, | FESAT !
